"It was the last day of Supanova Gold Coast, almost closing time. Summer was signing but had no one waiting.

We decided to get her autograph and when we went up to say hi she was totally mesmerized by my 10 month old son Zac and I asked if she wanted to hold him.

She was so googly eyed and was really reluctant to hand him back but her keeper kinda pushed her to move us on. She was so lovely and down to earth, she really could've been a friend meeting our son for the first time!

Oh, and she even gave our older son Jake (he's just over 2) some cuddles too, but we didn't get a pic of that : )"

Huge thank you to Erin for sharing that touching story with Summer's fans!

Here's the story behind that intriguing picture :

The puppet portrays Paul David Hewson, most commonly known by his stage name Bono, an Irish singer, musician, and humanitarian best known for being the main vocalist of the Dublin-based rock band U2.

Bono Puppet was created by etsy designer mullishmuse. It likes to schmoozes with celebrities and take photos with them, Summer Glau being one of his victims. The original caption of the Summer Glau photo is : "Yes, I am with Summer Glau. Jealous?".

Summer Glau attented Fan Expo held in Toronto, Canada on August 27-29, 2010; she was be there on Saturday and Sunday for a panel, autograph and photo sessions.

The guest list also included Felicia Day, James Marsters, Adam West, William Shatner and Stan Lee to name a few.

Here's what website Bleeding Cool reported :

"Biggest draws by far were Adam West, William Shatner and Stan Lee but the really really big (surprise to me) draw was Summer Glau. She seemed to be the big celeb everyone really wanted to meet."

Why is it not a surprise for us fans?

As usual, fans mentioned that Summer was extremly nice and appreciative of all the fans, taking the time to personalize each and every autograph.

Summer as Janet Van Dyne, aka The Wasp in The Avengers sequel

Everytime a sci-fi movie is a hit and therefore a sequel is expected, fans are speculating about the possibility to have Summer Glau play in it; for example, some suggested that Summer replace Sigourney Weaver in Avatar 2, or Angelina Jolie in a Lara Croft sequel, or Summer as X-23 in Marvel comics the X-Men, or more recently as Annie Cresta in The Hunger Games sequel "Catching Fire" (see blog post).

Now that Joss Whedon's The Avengers exceeded all expectations and that we are promised a sequel with a cosmic villain, some are expecting to see the Avengers team take on Ultron because that would also mean the introduction of Henry Pym and Janet Van Dyne (aka Ant-Man and the Wasp!), ideally played by Firefly alumns Nathan Fillion and Summer Glau.

Read more about supervillain Ultron and superheroine The wasp at Wikipedia.

A little casting buzz history :

Back in September 2008, Eva Longoria was spotted near Marvel offices carrying a stack of comics but she later denied the rumors; in September 2010 Mania reported that Morena Baccarin was seen "visiting a comic shop and purchasing "a bunch of Avengers comics. Our tipster further said she was asking the store workers to specifically point out comics with the Wasp in them.”

And now it could be Summer Glau's turn!

UPDATE : It looks like Joss Whedon is looking for another female role on The Avengers sequel, why not Summer?

Serenity Cast : Where Are They Now?

The Hollywood Reporter published a "where are they now" summary of Serenity's Cast titled : Joss Whedon's 'Firefly' Crew, Flying High Ten Years Later

"If, ten years ago, you would have told the superfans who were calling themselves Browncoats that the stars of their beloved and -- just-canceled -- space western Firefly would one day be at the top of the Hollywood food chain, you'd have gotten plenty of crazy looks. But today, you could also be teasing, "I told you so.""

Here's Summer Glau's paragraph :

"Summer Glau, Simon's damaged and mysterious sister, has guest starred in two episodes of Grey's Anatomy this season, and will star with Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage in the film Knights of Badassdom."
